Answer 1

youre goal should be to do both ... at the same time  

Answer 2

if you have high body fat you need to do lower weight with allot of reps. this will turn most of the fat into muscle then when your pretty tone start raising the weight and lowering the reps.

keep eating the way you are that's exactly what you should be doing.

good luck.

Answer 3

Ok, Muscle burns fat...so if you build muscle you will be burning at the same time

tips-----------------

you should also focus on your proper nutrients intake (example)

I suggest you take FISH OILS 1000 they sell at GNC or any drug store ;    Fish Oil provides dietary support for joint health along with DHA and EPA, these Omega-3 fatty acids help support the cardiovascular system.*

Each capsule contains 1000 mg of fish body oil.

I also suggest you take any source of FIBER ;   Fiber promotes intestinal health and regularity, increases bulk and provides relief from occasional constipation. Experts agree that adults should consume 25 to 35 grams of fiber every day to maintain good health and normal bowel function. Fiber is an all-natural way to promote regularity and colon health. It aids in the transit of food through the intestines and offers many additional health benefits including helping you to delay hunger and making you feel full longer.

so....

exercising

eating healthy (I suggest) the 1500 calorie per day diet

getting rid of all junk food

buildin muscle

and taking the things I just mentioned above, will get you HEALTHY,LEAN,FASTER and most importantly make you feel BETTER

p.s. Ask your parents if it's ok to take the Fiber, and the fish oils 1000 before doing so even though taking it in its propper way won't kill you
